Freshwater ecosystems are negatively affected by climate change and human interventions modifying together supply and demand of ecosystem services (ES). Research on ES focused on assessing risks arising from the interaction among both stressors, integrating empirical data with expert knowledge. This work aims at incorporating Bayesian Networks (BN) approaches into ES appraisal, identifying key factors driving changes and trade-offs among ES potential under different scenarios.
The designed BN model represents a valuable decision support tool to quickly perform ES assessment and to identify the most suitable management plan to maintain benefits from freshwater ecosystems.
